This is a combination of the Burmese for Beginners book and the three CD set. Using the CDs along with the book will help you learn the language much faster and more efficiently. Burmese for Beginners is designed for either self-study or classroom use. It teaches all four language skills - speaking, listening (when used in conjunction with the audio), reading and writing; and offers clear, easy, step-by-step instruction building on what has been previously learned. Lots of exercises and useful phrases. Very user-friendly and fun to use.
